FAQs
1. Can I use store-bought caramel sauce?
Yes! However, homemade caramel sauce adds a richer, deeper flavor.
2. Can I make these cupcakes ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can bake the cupcakes a day ahead and frost them just before serving.
3. How do I get smooth frosting?
Make sure your butter and cream cheese are softened before mixing. Beat until fluffy for the creamiest frosting!
4. Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?
Yes, but omit the extra salt in the cupcake batter to balance the flavors.
5. What’s the best way to drizzle caramel on top?
Use a spoon or piping bag for even drizzling. For a thinner consistency, slightly warm the caramel before drizzling.
